Kurzick Faction

Contents

Faction points, or simply "faction," can be gained with the Kurzicks by completing various quests, challenge missions, and battles in Cantha. Faction can be used for the immediate benefit of the player or to gain standing for the player's alliance. However, the main purpose within the PvE campaign is to advance the plot by forcing the player to choose one faction over the other. Once you have gained enough faction with the Kurzicks, you can advance deeper into Kurzick territory and gain access to later missions.

The Kurzick Bureaucrat will also tell you how to increase your Kurzick faction cap.

Spending faction adds points to the Friend of the Kurzicks Title Track, which increases the power of Kurzick skills. Faction spent on Amber and Passage Scrolls provides 1 point per faction spent. Faction spent on faction transfer and Kurzick skills provides 2 points per faction spent.

Whenever you spend Kurzick faction, it causes you to lose an equal amount of Luxon faction, although it will not reduce your faction below 0. Players will likewise lose Kurzick faction for spending Luxon faction.

The faction cap can be raised to a maximum of 70,000 points by completing certain achievements in the game. Each achievement will only count once per account. (Faction cap was automatically increased from the November 13, 2008 update if you have already done the following things: Befriending quest, Kurzick mission sets, and beaten Urgoz after the addition of the Hall of Monuments to Guild Wars in August of 2007.)

If you have more unspent Kurzick faction than Luxon faction, trader NPCs in any Luxon-owned town will not talk to you with the exceptions of Xunlai Agents and collectors.

Even if you are a member of a guild which is allied with the Luxons, Kurzick trader NPCs will still talk to you provided you personally have more Kurzick faction than Luxon.

Any faction points gained over your maximum faction cap will not be added to your account and will not count toward your total faction earned so far. (This is with the exception of the initial update when logging into your characters for the first time after the 11/13/2008 update.)

Faction points are account-based and therefore shared by all characters in an account. This fact can be put to good use when attempting the Befriending the Kurzicks quest with multiple characters.
